Book Reviews of 1491 New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus
Book Review: The Colombian Exchange was worse than you thougt
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only book in 10 years of monthly meetings that my book club has voted to read twice. I used to think of the Colombian exchange in terms of the decimation of the Native American population by Eurasian diseases and the new food crops brought to Europe from the new world. The impact was far greater than I knew. Think about pigs for example and the damage wild pigs can do! The preColombian civilizations were greater than I had realized, and I have started on a reading campaign about Native American societies as a result of reading this book.
